What his chart says about him
Who he was
Sun in Virgo, the Fixer
Modest about a great deal of skill. Cares through careful, useful help, and has a wit that catches people off guard.
What he needed
Moon in Scorpio or Sagittarius, the Vault
Feels hard and shows little. Needs loyalty, privacy and a few people worth trusting completely. His head and his feelings argued: he knew what he thought before he knew what he felt, or the other way round.
The Moon square Mercury (close at 1.6°) · For a birth after 12:32 p.m., his Moon was in Sagittarius.
How he loved
Venus in Libra, the Sweetheart
Happiest as half of a well-matched pair. Brings charm, fairness and courtesy to love. A generous heart: love and good company came to him easily, and he shared both.
Venus conjunction Jupiter (almost exact at 0.1°)
How he thought
Mercury in Leo, the Storyteller
Speaks with flair and conviction. Thinks in bold strokes and tells a story everyone remembers. A graceful mind: he spoke kindly and well, and he knew how to say a hard thing gently.
Mercury sextile Venus (close at 2.4°)
What drove him
Mars in Libra, the Negotiator
Gets things done through people, charm and fairness. Prefers teamwork to a fight, and fights hardest for others. Stamina and willpower: he kept going long after others stopped, and he did his best work under pressure.
Mars sextile Pluto (wide at 3.2°)
The shape of his chart
In his chart, his mind, his discipline and his intensity (Mercury, Saturn and Pluto) gather in Leo, and that part of life drew his attention first. The weight of his chart sits in air signs: ideas and people.
